The big thing that I've noticed in the States is there doesn't appear to be the same sort of Insurance Groups system. What is an STI - 20? If there are, they're not well publicised. Insurance is definitely a TON cheaper over here, though. Granted, I'm a good bit older (27) and have 4 years under my belt (previous UK experience doesn't count) and I pay just shy of $900 for the year with full coverage ('08 WRX).

Another HUGE difference is the coverage options over here - it's not just 3rd party, 3rd party fire/theft or fully comp. You can adjust just about every coverage here - it's nuts! Oh, and anyone can drive you're car....which is great...you're basically insuring the car! In the UK, only people named on the policy can drive....

The other thing I would point out is that while &#163;5,000 is actually $10,000 with the exchange rate, it's actually more like $5,000 as far as equivalent pricing. I've found that most things are the same price but just change the symbol! Eg. An iPod Nano is $150 here and &#163;150 back home....crackin' value if you're bring &#163;'s over!
